Details about Big Mood Season 1

During the last episode of Big Mood Season 1, Maggie is taking care of Eddie as the latter has to go to the clinic. As Eddie sleeps, Maggie gets haunted visions of kids, and she screams at the children about why they are present there. Afterwards, Maggie asks Eddie if she has schizophrenia, and Eddie suggests that both of them should go to sunny Los Angeles so that Maggie can write.
Maggie also visits her friend Coco and indirectly asks her about schizophrenia. However, her mother comes and tells Maggie to visit a psychiatrist. As she leaves Coco’s house, it gets dark, and Maggie gets more hallucinations about Dr. John Nash. Maggie hails a car, and she tells the person that she wants to go to the train station, while Eddie is getting ready for an appointment.
Eddie waits for Maggie at the clinic, but Maggie is not there, and she has to end up going without her. Maggie thinks that the guy in the car will kill her, and Leon, the man in the car, was only taking her to the station. Maggie apologizes and turns up at Girl Borsch. The guy tells her that Eddie was here yesterday, and Maggie has therefore been missing for an entire day.
Towards the end, Wills tells Eddie that he loves her, and Eddie is still thinking about Maggie. Jay also buys the pinball machine Eddie is selling so that she gets money for Los Angeles, and the two make up. Maggie turns up at the bar and tries to get inside. She also tells Will that she thinks that something is wrong with her, and just as she spots Eddie, Eddie leaves in a taxi.
Therefore, the new season will begin with Eddie and Maggie reuniting after one year. The show is produced by Dancing Ledge Productions, which is a Fremantle company.
